Abstract
Traditionally, curriculum specifications tend to be formal, static documents, not encouraging adaptation and evolution. In order to facilitate various activities in implementing a curriculum, such as coordinating content, meta-cognitive competences, student-centered learning outcomes, this work proposes to employ a structured, Wiki-supported space. Our experience with this approach showed an improved transparency and coordination of courses based on a structured overview, a multi-faceted specification and increased sharing among teaching staff.
